Answer: Osteoporosis

Step-by-step explanation:

Your bone tissue are made of calcium phosphate complexes, which your body is constantly absorbing and replacing. When calcium levels are low, the removal of old bone tissue can not be sufficiently replaced with new. Thus, caused the bones to become less dense, and therefore, weak and brittle.
